After purchasing a pneumatic actuator suitable for your application, it is time to consider the specific installation method. Choosing the best installation configuration for your cylinder application is a key design consideration to ensure the best performance and maximize the life expectancy of the cylinder. In order to ensure that all types of cylinders can be bought and sold globally, most cylinder manufacturers strictly follow NFPA or ISO standards when producing cylinders. Under such strict standards, the recognized installation methods of cylinders mainly include the following three types: fixed centerline installation, fixed non-centerline installation, and rotating centerline installation.
The installation method of the pneumatic actuator mainly depends on the application of the specific industry. Many industries have specific requirements for the effects and functions that pneumatic actuators need to achieve, so these three installation methods cannot be exchanged at will. For example, some manufacturers in the processing industry have very clear requirements for the stroke length, motion path, load capacity, etc. of the cylinder, so the installation method needs to be determined according to the specific situation. If the installation configuration is not carefully considered, it may cause premature failure of the cylinder. Therefore, we would like to provide you with some guidelines and best practices to help you avoid any problems related to cylinder installation.
Fixed centerline installation
This is an installation method that allows the thrust of the cylinder to be concentrated on the center line. The thrust generated by this installation method can be well concentrated. Fixed centerline installation is suitable for applications that require linear motion. This installation method can keep the cylinder stable during movement. Choose fixed centerline installation.
There are some considerations that need to be taken into consideration. In order to ensure the load capacity of the cylinder and the accuracy of the direction of movement, the cylinder must be installed on a rigid structure, and support needs to be added at the other end.
Fixed non-centerline installation
Non-centerline installation means that the thrust of the cylinder is parallel to the centerline. This installation method is relatively simple and easy to maintain. The cylinder can be directly connected by end lug installation, side lug installation or side thread installation. This installation method has a great point of attention, that is, it will add an extra load on the mounting bolt, which means that the bolt may wear out during continuous use. In order to avoid such incidents as much as possible, they must be carefully aligned during installation.
Rotation centerline installation
If the bending or misalignment of the load path cannot be avoided in your application, then the rotating centerline installation will be your ideal choice. In this way, the center line of the cylinder can be moved in different directions. The clevis mount is one of the most versatile and widely used mounts, and is most suitable for short-stroke, medium-cylinder or small-bore cylinder applications.
In addition to the installation method, there are several other aspects that should not be ignored when installing the cylinder. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the exposed part of the piston rod. The threaded parts should be tightened according to the specifications and tightly tightened against the threaded shoulder to minimize bending.
